MR. COATES
—— 1 - ■lqglH — SPEECH AT WORCESTER. (Australian & N.Z. Cable Assn.) LONDON, December 3. “It seems that it has almost become a habit in Britain to look upon the gloomy side of everything. I cannot understand this view at all. The worse things are, the greater the optimism ought to be!” This was the declaration of Mr J. G. Coates, when responding to his health at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon at the Guildhall' at Worcester. Speaking of the Imperial Conference, he said that, after listening to all the speeches, he thought that Britain ought to feel very pleased that she had been admitted into the Empire. (Laughter). “New Zealanders,” he said, “are far more British *“ than the people here.” Here he had „ seen “God Save the King” with three ~ people sitting. They would not tolerate that in New Zealand for very ■ good and sufficient reasons. fe A SEVERE COLD. LONDON, D.ecember 3. g Mr Coates is temporarily indispos- g ed with a severe cold. He is spend- I ing the week-end at 'Leominster, with I his cousin, Colonel Coates, formerly | of the Indian Railway Service. |
